What body position required to correctly measure the BP?

For the most accurate measurements we recommend you rest your elbows on a table, position your arm so that the pressure cuff is at the same height as your heart, then position your palm upward.

Can sitting and standing, in both situations is not a problem. I think it is the user manual. Only hand should be relaxed, and it works perfectly.

Hello Dawn: I sometimes take my blood pressure when lying down, but I would think you would get a better reading sitting down. My doctor always takes mine when I'm sitting.

Bring the monitor to a CVS pharmacy. They have a BP machine there. Take your pressure and write it down. Wait 15 minutes and take it on your BP machine and see if the readings are similar or on your next visit to physician, check your machine against doctor's. After reading previous comments, you might need a new cuff.

I'm a cancer patient and also I have a serius Mitral Valve damage for many years,the iximeter is a very important tool to know my readings ,pulse rate,oxigen etc. I check my with the one my oncologist use at his office and show 100% accurated. Now 10 days ago my heart bits start again up and down to fast,so I decired to buy a new blood pressure equipment a lot more accurated so I take my blood pressure on my left arm and use my oximeter on my right hand (never use both on the same arm),and was exactly on both the oximeter and on the blood pressure reading. The most I like is when the numbers are in a level not right the oximeter star beeping higher and higher so alert you to paid attention and report to your doctor ASAP. A very good friend ask me the same and I told him please try he have the same problem but not related with a Mitral valve problem,I was in a 6 weeks period at 3 diferent hospital by rescue in a life treathning,and my cardiologist told me he feel more confortable because I have this very professional oximeter. But the most important check with your cardiologist and his/her decision will be the best for you. I'm very happen and after I have it I can control my heart bit and keep my doctor aware minute by minute. Hopefully my answer help you. Good luck! God Bless you and your family. Ramon,Hialeah,Fl.

I have been getting high readings, quite a bit more than at my doctor's office.This has really irritated me since I bought it! I noticed the cuff is a medium adult, with an arm circumference up to 16 1/2 inches. What we need is a large cuff for most adults, I take BP readings on my patients and usually use a large cuff. My arm is not very fat and it measures 16 3/4 inches, so this is too small for me and especially my 6'2" husband! I have looked to see if there is another cuff I can buy to replace the medium one and have not found one on Amazon.

Osrom 7 is not a professional Blood Pressure Monitor, It is a small handy device that provides you an order of magnitude of blood pressure measured. It is not designed for hospital use, but in home is a help to control your health. It has a sensor on the inner side, which must match an artery in his left arm to make it work properly, additionally your arm should be placed in a given position for this fixture at the height of his heart and blue light comes on; under these conditions, the results are acceptable. The human anatomy is not the same in all people, and also can vary from one arm to another, why you should use according to the directions for good results.

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

The left dial has the ability to manually set a highest level of pressure-- example - you could set it at 100, 150, 200 , 250 etc and it also has an auto setting(we use the auto setting) so that the cuff inflates appropriately to the persons pressure.The right dial allows you do do multiple Blood pressure ( example every 5 mins) , it also averages the results(usually like average of 3), and it allows you to manual setting - to work like a non automatic blood pressure (the old fashioned sphygmomanometer).

I presume it can be, as it measures BP with the usual arm cuff. However, if this is crucial to your selection, clearly you need to speak with your cardiologist.

That's up to the person that will sit to use it. Sit on a chair and measure from the floor up imaginarily where your hands will be when you are using the unit for it to be comfortable.

Measure just below elbow point with arm straight, error on smaller size if close

Apparently, its accurate.The upper arm cuff is dependent on the nurse counting and listening. This device likely does both, reliably, and error free.Doctors should take that in the waiting room before a person comes in, so they get a very good resting blood pressure.

Yes there is, but I wouldn't expect it to help you accurately measure BP. Get your own stethoscope

Yes, your BP is shown automatically after you pump it up manually. and the cuff size is from 9 - 14 inches. Personally I would have preferred to buy the complete manual one, the one that most doctors use, because this model is extremely sensitive........you have to be ABSOLUTELY still (except of course pumping) in you movements, especially the arm you are checking....... or it will either show ERROR or give you a bum reading.

Absolutely YES. Ive had both my shoulders replaced and have allot of trouble with my hands and this is so easy to use. Very accurate as I tool it with me to my doctors office to compare with their BP cuff reading. This one is very accurate. So easy to use.

I so not think any home monitor can accurately read your blood pressure. I have taken my monitor with me to the doctor's office on several occasions. It can read anywhere from 10 to 20 points higher than what the doctor's machine reads. To quote her "use it as a guide, not as a fact". So, that's what I do.

It doesn't require a stethoscope. If you don't know your bp, inflate to 170 mmHg. It'll go down from there automatically. It takes 2-3 times of doing this to get a good reading. The circumference of the cuff is 9-13 inches (from manual).
